This is "Pop" The only living plant I have left of my father's. I inherited all of his plants and after 3 years with me, this one is left. Sorry Daddy. I tried. Sad little fella. He was over 7 feet a year ago. He has been reduced to this. (husband left him out in the frost)

The little nip of frost may have given him a new lease on life...notice lots of lovely green newgrowth at the base...They can be picky houseplants and will spontaneously drop their leaves for now apparent reason...so be prepared this plant is not as easy as it seems... but with the new growth there's hope...so soldier on...give Ficus benjamina a google and you'll get the basics of care.. good luck.

Poor Pop. I just can't get him to stand up proud.
